Black And Red Flannel Shirt Views
A lot of guys used to wear that up here in prairie Alberta where I live. ItI's sort of like Alaska here, even though I live in the city. I had one when I was in high school (black and grey), and I still have a flannel checkered bathrobe that I don 't wear. We call it "plaid ", and some girls actually find them sexy on a man. I don 't know exactly why. It
The red/black plaid pattern is excellent for a hunting shirt, as it is visible to other hunters, and difficult for most game animals, who are color blind, to spot. To animals with black and white vision, red and black plaid serves as camo. Note that most predators are not color blind, and can see the color red.
The only fly in the ointment regarding this specific shirt is that the snaps are synthetic mother of pearl and highly reflective. For use in the field, it is a simple matter to dab a little flat black model paint over the offending snaps. A Q-tip works fine for this purpose, no paintbrush required. Also effective for blackening the buttons is a black Sharpie permanent marker.
This is a heavy shirt that can be worn as a light outer garment over a T-shirt on warm days or as a shirt under a hunting coat on chilly days. It provides good insulation and works well as one of the under layers in a layered approach to keeping warm. I like to wear a T-shirt, long underwear, a flannel shirt, and a hunting coat in cold weather. In freezing weather I sometimes add a down vest between the shirt and coat. (And in severe winter weather I stay home or in camp by a fire!).
